Fresh Observation-Disclosures Pouring
Into Camp by Overland Teams and
Bus Loads from the Trains-Interest-
Services.
Mitchell, June 24-During the latter
part of yesterday large acoesslons we're
made to those already in camp. Team
after team loaded with dusty travellers
and luggage, fled into the grounds while
buses and baggage wagons came from
the trains. Among the more distinguish
ed arrivals are Prof. W. w Prescott,
resident of Battle Greek college and
Elder r. NJ. Kilgore, of Illinois.
BY inquiring of the conference secre-
tary we learn that there are about fifty
| delegates to the conference, represent
ing churches at Badns, Big Springs,
Bookings, Brothertield, ~Bridgewater
Ohildstown, CLARK, Elk Point, Iroquois,
Ma iison, Milbank, Milton. Parker, Sioux
Falls, Spring Lake. Sunnyside, Swan
Lake and Villas.
Yesterday afternoon q discourse was
given by Elder Farnsworth, from Rom.
1886, "Adyersity and Persecution tests
d Mans Character, but Cannot Separate
us from the Love OF Cod" These are
from without, and if rightly endured,
| only tend to strengthen a mans weak
points and develop traits that make him
| efficient. But n thing, that the apos~
tie does not mention, can separate US
from Gods fove, and that is sin, which
is our voluntary action. Bin in the heart
always separates from God, but when
Christ lives in us, sin cannot remain. end
and we become spiritual. The import
ance of confession IN order to let Christ
into our hearts was made emphatic, and
the discourse as q whole was listened to
with great interest, and apparently
made q deep impression upon the au-
dience.
a lively and spiritual social meeting
was held at 5 p. M, followed by Q forci-
BILE sermon by Elder Kilgore, in the
evening, from Isaiah End chapter. This
chapter contains a prediction relating
to the last days. Mountains in
prophetic scripture represent govern
ments, and hills signify subordinate, or
state governments. The language then
indicates that in the last days there is to
. be an exalta.ion of the church above the
state, or religious ordinances and doc
trines are to be def by the church,
and enforced by legal enactment. Such
q movement is indicated by the genera
interest in the enactment of rigid Sun.
. day laws among the states, and The
clenor for snch q move by the genera
government. 1t is to be q popular
movement, for many people shall q
and, say So" This shows that it is the
people and not God, that makes the
j. prediction of universal peaoe,snd indeed
r the Lord says exactly the opposite IL
: Joel, ID chapter. Modern r@eyivall
{ seem to be in fulfillment of this scr p
ture. Modern preaching largely ignore
t and abolishes the law of God, while
pretence is made to greatly exalt tn
= gospel. 1t is said the worl'
is to be converted, while at tn
came time wal preparations are goinI
h on, on q scale never before dreamed OF
the standing armies of Europe, on
& peace footing, ranging from 100000 t
It 800 900 men. The connection show
h that because the people are saying thes
things, God is displeased with them, an
a. Will not forgive them.
